Chapter 39 Why are you here?
"Ah."

Shu Nuo laughed mockingly.

The bully seemed to be thoroughly annoyed, he rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists, roaring and slamming at Shu Nuo.

Shu Nuo did not rush, bent down to pick up the stone she just threw on the back of the bully's head, weighed it twice, and then threw it at the bully, but this time it was not aimed at the head, but three inches below the navel.

'thump'!
The bully was hit right on the ground, bent his knees and knelt on the ground, with his hands folded and covering his pants, so painful that he couldn't speak.

"Since this brother no longer has any objections, I will take Miss Caixia and leave."

The man on the ground pointed at her tremblingly with his index finger, but Shu Nuo turned a blind eye and pulled Caixia who was a little dazed to get up, without saying anything, turned around and passed the crowd.

Caixia hurriedly followed with the purse in her hand, and shouted across the corner of the alley, "Master!"

Shu Nuo stopped, and then Eunuch Jia also stopped and looked at her: "Girl, what else do you want?"

Caixia took a few steps forward and knelt down: "You have given me so much money and saved me from being bullied. Don't worry, my son. When my father is settled, Caixia will repay you like a cow and a horse."

"No need." Shu Nuo turned around and helped her up, "I don't need anyone to serve me, you settle down with father, and the rest of the money will be used to settle for yourself."

Caixia trembled when she heard this, her eyes turned red and tears rolled out: "Young master bought Caixia, but then abandoned Caixia. Is it because my face is too ugly that I offend you?"

"No..." The most difficult thing for Shu Nuo is when the girl cries. Before when my elder sister cried, she coaxed her away by saying sweet words, but now when facing a strange girl, she can't open her mouth to say something, otherwise she will be regarded as a prostitute. The children are considered light.

She sighed and looked back and forth, said "you come with me" and walked towards the bookstore. Caixia didn't know, so she followed closely.

Stepping into the bookstore, the shopkeeper saw them stunned.

Shu Nuo approached, pointed to Caixia who was coming behind him, and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any female assistants in your shop?"

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to respond, Caixia knelt down on the ground again with red eyes: "My lord! Caixia only wants to follow you, and has nothing else to ask for."

Shu Nuo looked at her strangely: "Do you want to sell yourself to bury your father, or follow me?"

Caixia's voice choked up when she was asked, her tearful eyes unconsciously burst into panic. Seeing this, the shopkeeper next to her suddenly turned to the front cabinet, stretched out her hand and picked up the sobbing girl who was kneeling on the ground: "Why are you crying, my lord?" Renhou gave you money and found you a place to live, so it’s okay to be ungrateful, and you’re still crying here!”

"Can……"

Caixia wanted to say something else, but the shopkeeper's hand that supported her arm was suddenly strong, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes. Seeing that the girl stopped talking, he turned around and smiled at Shu Nuo again: "I think this girl is honest. She is capable of work, don't worry, I will make arrangements for her."

Shu Nuo nodded, and suddenly thought of something and opened his mouth cautiously: "Then you..."

"Don't worry, don't worry." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I'm a family man, and my children are over three years old. It's absolutely impossible for me to do such a thing."

Shu Nuo nodded, touched the books in his hands, anyway, there are many and curious books here, she will come here often in the future.

After seeing off the snow-robed 'boy', the shopkeeper looked around for a moment, then stretched out his hand to close the door, and a puzzled voice came from behind: "Why did you leave me?"

Caixia stood up and shook her skirt, raised her sleeves and wiped away her tears, her expression was so calm that she was not even half delicate and pitiful.

The shopkeeper glared at her: "Didn't you hear that that person has become suspicious of you? If you continue to spend it, you will be in a dilemma whether you will survive."

Caixia patted her skirt pleats for a moment: "But if I didn't follow that person, what would the master do..."

The shopkeeper choked and sighed: "I have no choice but to report the truth."

……

It was already noon, and the vendors and drivers on both sides of the street became lazy, wearing straw hats and eating straw, leaning against the shade of the trees to take a nap.

Shu Nuo didn't take the car, and walked slowly on the street: "How?"

Eunuch Jia replied: "After you left, that bookstore was closed. The old slave listened to it for a long time, but there was no strange movement coming from inside. It must be..."

He didn't say a word in the second half, but Shu Nuo also smiled knowingly, naturally there would be no movement, the shopkeeper's first glance at Caixia didn't have the evilness that a womanizer should have.

She put all the books in her hand into Eunuch Jia's arms: "Okay, you go back first, I want to walk the rest of the way by myself."

Eunuch Jia looked complicated, but he also left respectfully.

Shu Nuo walked slowly, the road became more and more deviated, more and more desolate, she stepped into an alley, stopped, beside the high gray wall, a boy in coarse linen squatted halfway there and stretched out his hand to caress The brown puppy under his palm has a gentle look and gentle manner, and the brown puppy barks happily under his palm.

Seemingly aware that someone was coming, he turned his head and saw a 'young man' in white clothes standing at the entrance of the alley. He was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and saluted respectfully: "Slave, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shu Nuo raised his eyebrows: "Lu Ze? Why are you here?"

Lu Ze straightened up, glanced at the happy puppy around his feet, bent down to pick it up, and said nothing.

Shu Nuo stepped forward, stretched out his hand to touch the head of the puppy in his arms, and said with a smile, "You raised it?"

Lu Ze shook his head: "I picked it up on the side of the road, and when I met it, its calf was injured."

Following his line of sight, Shu Nuo realized that the little brown dog's left front foot was a little turned out, and it was now wrapped in white gauze, "It's a poor little guy, by the way, how is your injury?"

"It's much better, thank you Your Highness for your concern."

Shu Nuo nodded and pointed forward: "If you have nothing to do, go back with Gu."

Lu Ze didn't speak, but followed her closely.

The alleys on both sides became narrower and narrower. Just now I could see a few gates, but now I can't see any of them.

Shu Nuo looked at the two sides, seemingly unintentionally said: "Tell me, if a few killers come to such a sparsely populated place, will I have nowhere to hide?"

Lu Ze whispered: "I will swear to protect His Highness to the death, you don't have to worry."

"I don't know, it's like being assassinated at the banquet last night." Shu Nuo stopped, stretched out his hand to tease the drooping thick green branches and willows, "I thought I was going to die, but you showed up, look, what a coincidence."

A dim light flashed in Lu Ze's eyes, he didn't speak, and lowered his head even lower.

Shu Nuo continued: "As for me, I don't have any big ambitions, so I can't help you. If you focus more on the right path, you can avoid detours, don't you think?"

While speaking, she suddenly smelled a smell of blood. After careful sniffing, it should have come from a dense forest not far away. She frowned and wanted to back away, but when she turned around, she saw Lu Ze not knowing when. Already standing in front of her.
